Sp you completely ignore the overtake velocity of the chopper?

That can't be right.

Then again... I have been drinking.

Let's say, for simpler understanding, that both the chopper and the target vehicle are moving at relatively the same speed, and the chopper is perpendicular to the trucks travel but moving in same direction as the truck. I would think the vehicle/chopper speeds would negate each other so the only other factor (beside distance/bullet drop)would be accounting for the winds effect on the bullet, thus leading the target whatever needed distance.

As to putting you guys old ladies in the cab for the test...
